Re: 50 Shades of Yellow
Is that an original colour?

Re: New to forum and have a fun issue with my d2
The misfiring could be a few things. Bad injectors, coils wiring etc. I would start with the wiring. It is of course also possible bad drivers in the ecu.
My suggestion is that you need to check for output to the injector plug. At least to see if it is being told to fire. Bear in mind that the car ...

Re: Gearbox failure at 90,000mls
It really is a tough call. It seems I am not as connected to my car as some of you guys are to yours. I need to remind myself that I was about to sell the car because of becoming frustrated with the whole NLA fiasco. There is absolutely no point in even rebuilding it myself if I then sell it shortly ...

Re: Gearbox failure at 90,000mls
Sorry guy's but I just thought of something else I would like your opinions on. It may have an impact on my financial calculations.
I roughly value my car with a fully working gearbox at about 6k. Would this same car sell for a higher premium if it had evidence of a full mackies gearbox rebuild ...

Re: Gearbox failure at 90,000mls
If I end up doing it myself on the drive I will absolutely document and post. I'm sure I will need the support and encouragement.
I would like to do it as a "WITW" kind of thing as really enjoyed reading MJ"s. Weekly or monthly updates maybe.
It will be a while off yet but I will keep you all ...

Re: Gearbox failure at 90,000mls
A couple of typos. Transgo and Zf. What a dummy. That will teach me to preview before posting in the future.

Re: Gearbox failure at 90,000mls
Thanks for the info MJ.
Yeah I was planning on dropping the subframe complete with engine and gearbox. I'm in no rush so I can remove bits that wouldn't ordinarily need removing in order to make the job easier.
I have a transco valve but haven't decided if to use it or not. I had an email ...

Gearbox failure at 90,000mls
As many of you will know I put the car up for sale for about a week or so and then took it off the market as I needed to lend my intended daily driver to a family member. No problem I thought, I'll run around in the S8 for now and then re list later.
Well, the S8 had other ideas. Whilst driving ...
